Henry’s getting bowled on this pitch

[straw man]

Had to drive somewhere, stopped halfway and saw Ajaz took the last two. Now arrived and with some trepidation checked cricinfo to see how our batting was going...

And this is before the spinners really destroy us.

Satisfying 5

Siraj is clearly second best pacer for India now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

What a spell

 

[Test fan]

Dropped Taylor permanently , Play young at 4 and Conway as an opener.

 

[anil1405]

So no 10 fer then.

 

[Bahnz]

Watching Taylor bat in Asia these days makes me feel like I know how boxing fans must’ve felt when Ali got beat up by Larry Holmes. You hope for a bit of the old magic at the beginning of each round, but after a while you realise there’s nothing left and you just want someone to stop it.

Nz cricket is dead

 

[morgieb]

NZ to get bowled out for under 36?

 

[Zinzan]

Holy shizzer Ajaz! Phenomenal performance. Just watching delayed.

Shame we're unlikely to get >150 either innings, but that doesn't seem to even matter for now.

 

[ataraxia]

This is where we miss Watling.

 

[Bahnz]

This fast spinny surface might as well have been scientifically engineered to exploit NZ’s batting weaknesses.

 

[Days of Grace]

Ajaz will be bowling again before stumps, won't he?

 

[ataraxia]

11 wickets and a 50 for A. Patel.

 

[Moss]

Not exactly channeling the spirit of Kanpur here. TBF the spinners probably don’t even need the sort of inroads Siraj has provided. Will they avoid the follow on?

Good let’s get him to 20 asap.

You'll probably end up following on.

No.
